Raiys expands neurodiversity team

Glasgow-based digital health and wellbeing platform Raiys has appointed Anna Srireddy as clinical lead for neurodiversity as it expands its specialist healthcare services.

Anna brings more than 20 years of experience across mental health nursing, ADHD assessment and treatment, clinical governance and multidisciplinary leadership roles in England and Scotland.

In her new role, she will lead the development of Raiys’ healthcare-led neurodiversity strategy, working alongside the company's clinical leadership team to expand support for people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and Tourette’s syndrome.

Anna said: “The reality is that neurodiversity services are under extraordinary pressure.

“Recent Scottish briefing data suggests that over 23,000 adults were recorded as waiting across neurodiversity-related pathways, including ADHD and autism services, as of March 2025, with waiting lists in some areas increasing by up to 2200 per cent since 2020 based on comparisons of NHS board-level reporting data over that period, and average longest waits reaching three-and-a-half years.

“At the same time, NHS England estimates that more than half a million people may now be waiting for ADHD assessment pathways based on NHS Digital mental health and neurodiversity waiting list data published in May 2025.

“Traditional systems alone cannot sustainably absorb that level of demand without innovation in how support is delivered.”

Anna’s appointment follows the launch of Raiys’ neurodiversity programme, designed to help address growing demand for assessment and support services. 

The move forms part of the company’s wider growth strategy as it continues to develop its digital health and wellbeing offering across the UK.

James Murphy, founder and chief executive of Raiys, added: “Demand for neurodiversity services continues to increase at a pace that traditional systems are struggling to absorb.

“Anna brings an exceptional combination of frontline experience, operational leadership and governance expertise that will be instrumental as we continue expanding our neurodiversity offering and investing further in clinically led support.

“This is an incredibly important area for Raiys and forms a major part of our wider vision for accessible, preventative and digitally enabled healthcare.”

Anna added: “Platforms such as Raiys can play an important role in extending assistance earlier and more consistently, while reducing pressure on overstretched systems.

“What excites me about my new role is the opportunity to help build something clinically robust, scalable and genuinely person-centred – using digital healthcare not to replace clinicians but to improve access, strengthen engagement and provide more continuous support within existing services and care programmes.

“I have always believed that the best solutions are those where clinical rigour and operational effectiveness reinforce one another.

“I will be focused on creating robust, evidence-based pathways, prescribing standards and a high-performing team culture that sets a new standard for neurodiversity care in a digital-first environment.”
